Every year EMMEDIA supports artists in the community through our Production Access Programs. Support includes access to workshops, production equipment, post-production facilities, and professional mentorship through the production process of a media artwork. We encourage the production of innovative and challenging work from a variety of artists working in any genre. Our support to media artists extends beyond those working in video to encompass diverse forms of time-based art including installation, documentary, narrative, animation, performance, new media, audio, and web-based projects.

Our goal is to support the growth and enable innovation in media arts production. Each year this growth serves as a benchmark to reflect and build upon the diverse practices of our membership, continually raising the bar in our expectations of participants’ work at EMMEDIA.

VERNAL EQUINOX OBSERVATION – JOSHUA FRASER
MARCH 20, 2013 @ 7PM to Late
EMMEDIA Screening Room, #203, 351 – 11 Avenue SW
Admission is by donation (pay what you can)

The Vernal Equinox Observation invites guests to celebrate the coming spring! Marking the final season of Joshua Fraser’s year as artist in residence at EMMEDIA, spring is the season of renewal and rebirth. The lessons from the past year have had the winter to set in and the plans made in that time are brimming in anticipation of longer days.

An immersive space featuring icons of spring will support musical meditations about the season. These meditations will be guided by Beggars (Ian Maclean and Patrick Seager) and Citadel (Joshua Fraser).

Joshua Fraser is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Calgary. Fraser utilizes a broad array of methods towards his overarching goal: the facilitation of saturated emotional transference. This focus has emerged from an ever-increasing relationship with metaphysical and neo-pagan ideals and practices. Fraser’s work comes together as a determined pursuit striving to unite, reassure, and encourage viewers by championing the resilience of the human spirit.

This project was developed through the support of the EMMEDIA Artist in Residence program.

Under Cold Bright Stars by Jeremy Rourke (USA)
Cut-outs/drawing on photos, 3:10 min.

Under Cold Bright Stars is an animated video made for a song of the same title. The musician is also the animator. The film uses archival imagery, paint, light, photographs and time to create a world for the song. The lyrical words materialize and evaporate, the sun rises, the moon sets, we go into the woods, go deeper into them, come out of them, go into a stone house and see the faces of folks eighty years in the past. Birds, violins, backyards, rain, redwoods, alleys, and strangers all come together for a few minutes. The imagery is suggested by the lyrics, but is free to move on its own two feet. The artist recorded the song in 2009 and now, three years later, the moving imagery has been placed by its side.

About Jeremy Rourke:

Jeremy Rourke is an animator and musician living in San Francisco. He uses archival images, paint, light, glass, leaves, paper, photographs, pencils and pens to make his animations. These animated videos are set to his own music; the lyrics of which inform the imagery.

Each one of these boxes contains one or two characters locked in a wooden box, inspired by the theatre of the absurd. Neighbors gathered nine of these twelve boxes, like a fresh section of a building, where each occupant, sometimes senselessly hysterical, or sometimes quiet or busy, lives his own loneliness.

Their films question social issues, explore landscapes, or relate to ordinary people’s daily life. He started a few years ago experimenting with stop motion techniques, combined with drawing, painting and clay modeling during his spare time, as another way to express his point of view on human condition.

With the support of Calgary 2012, EMMEDIA and the Radiant Ladies, she is restaging Radiant for International Women’s Day. While in residence at EMMEDIA, she will develop a website to publish biographical information about each performer marking this time in Calgary’s cultural history and creating a valuable resource for the future.

For more information about the project, go to: shelleyouellet.com/RADIANT

“When I imagined the performance, I saw a big crowd dotted with women waving fans. Each woman fanning in her own way while doing what she does. Creating movement in the air that will touch everyone around her. I imagined gathering 100 women who individually contribute to Calgary arts community in a myriad of celebrated and understated ways. Artists, writers, historians, students, teachers, administrators, mentors, and supporters, who through waving a fan, can collectively change the temperature.” - Shelley Ouellet

ART’S BIRTHDAY 2013
In collaboration with M:ST Performative Art Society and Untitled Art Society
Saturday, January 19 @ 7 – 11PM
EMMEDIA Building – 351 11 Ave SW and UAS building – 343 11 Ave SW
Admission is FREE!

1 million and 50 years ago, a sponge was dropped in a bucket of water and with that, Art was born! First acknowledged by Fluxus artist and poet Robert Filliou in 1963, Art’s Birthday has been celebrated by artists the world over, through collaborative and networked based activities that recognize the spirit of permanent creation. In celebration of this momentous occasion, EMMEDIA, in collaboration with M:ST Performative Art Society and Untitled Art Society, would like to invite you to participate in a Fluxus Scavenger Hunt, where you will visit a series of participatory installations that will activate spaces throughout our building, supporting practices that reflect and celebrate the Eternal Network of Permanent Creation. For more information on Art’s Birthday, check out the official Art’s Birthday website at www.artsbirthday.net

BIRTHDAY PARTIES:

NERZBAU
Facilitated by Joseph Herring (Pensacola, Florida)
EMMEDIA Screening Room @7-11PM

A play on the Kurt Schwitter’s installation, “Merzbau”, “Nerzbau” translates to “weasel hole” or “weasel nest.” The weasels build out their own system of tunnels in a manner similar to Schwit-ter’s practice, but different in that the materials used to build out the tunnels comes from our own culture. The weasels reappropriate the detritus of our visual culture, in an attempt to forge a visual culture of their own. This performance will use live-feeds from several cameras stationed in and around the weasel nest, each feeding into a digital mixer, to mix and broadcast a live performative event built in the artist’s studio. By doing this, Joseph Herring draws a correlation between the wildlife documentation cameras currently stationed in animal habitats around the world, and broadcasted to live-streaming sites.

Facilitated by Grant Poier
EMMEDIA Lobby @ 7-11PM
